Click Allow. Then try it.

Reload the client. On first use it pops a browser tab — sign in to Hail (or sign up — takes 30 seconds), click Allow, and tokens flow back to the client. Send the prompt below — if a call is placed, an SMS lands, or an email shows up in the inbox view, you're done.

Assistant: "Call my agent and have it confirm the 4pm meeting via SMS."
